To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below the first two sections of the Learning Guide to A Midnight Clear.
Description: This is the story of a WW II American
intelligence unit posted to a remote location in the Ardennes
Forest at the time of the Battle of the Bulge. At Christmas, the
American soldiers receive a message from a German Army unit that it
wants to surrender. But there's a hitch. The Germans want it to
appear that they were overwhelmed to avoid reprisals to their
families back in Germany. The movie shows
the soldiers trying to work this out. The film
is based on the novel by William Wharton.
Benefits: A Midnight Clear shows the
fear felt by soldiers and the
difficulties in establishing trust between enemies. It shows that
German soldiers had feelings too. This movie is deeply upsetting
in the way that any good war movie should be. It brings several
elements of the horror of war into clear perspective.
The Learning Guide to A Midnight Clear also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
